CONTENTS 

To promote judicial cooperation with the aim of contributing to the creation of a genuine European area 

of justice in criminal matters based on mutual confidence, EJTN has organised a series of simultaneous 

sets of seminars in different venues across Member States during the first phase of the Criminal Justice 

project I 2010-2012. 

The new approach on methodology of the seminars, based upon a simulation on the existing EU judicial 

cooperation environment has been a success among EU participants. The progress of a case inspired from 

actual facts written by experts involving both nationally and cross-border judicial cooperation and in 

applying EU mutual recognition instruments will be examined by the delegates. By means of the 

simulation, judges and prosecutors will learn about the practical questions that arise under their own 

legal system and moreover, under the systems of their colleagues in other Member States when 

executing a European Arrest Warrant or requesting Mutual Legal Assistance. 

The seminar will require strong interactivity between the participants divided in 3 Core Groups having a 

national component in each seminar. The Core Group 1 composed of magistrates who are nationals from 

the Hosting country (Croatia) and the Core Groups 2 and 3 composed of magistrates from the Sending 

countries (Czech Republic and France). Participants will comment on the practical cases according to their 

national systems to promote mutual trust. 

A comprehensive overview of the work of EUROJUST and the EJN and their contribution to the process of 

international judicial co-operation in matters related to European Criminal Law will be examined. The 

seminars will be assisted by international and national experts, EJN contact points as well as EUROJUST 

representatives. 

The working language will be English. The language in the national Core Groups will be the mother 

tongue.
